The Primary Law.
From reports to date there seems to
be mi unusual number of
nspirants for the place now oc
cupied by Judge Adams, which will
enliven the times and cause a general
stampede for tlrst place in the race.
Under the old regime there was
never any certainty, while under the
primary there seems to be lesw, which
throws the whole question as to who Is
the coming man into a state of mysti
fication, such as has never before ex
isted In this or any other judicial dis
trict In the state.
Of course, such of the six counties
in the district will perhaps have a fa
vorite candidate, and will Insist upon
his nomination, while the electors gen
erally will take less interest than here
tofore, because of the abolishmeut of
the oldtime convention, when every
body was a big man because of the
votes he 'held in his pocket" ready to
be delivered to to the candidate and
his friends who could make the most
flattering promises and appeal to the
brotherly feelings of the man with the
votes.
Then there were cigars and beer and
highballs, which cut something of a
figure much as we dislike to make
concession while the political round
ers were on hand with their smiles,
their roorbacks and their budget of
lies.
'Mm intiflti1nti whn cnuld mnninulate
the wires, drag up from the slums tue
greatest number of unconscionable
.
nondescripts and hold them in line o$
his naked promises, was usually the
popular man. however much to the dis
trust of the better citizen.
Under the new system much of that
sort of tactics has been done away with
-while the "bum"' candidate has lost
his grip and the "good fellow"' who
could be induced to go back on his
friends for the consideration of a live
cent cigar or a bumper of beer, has
lost his job.
It has been rumored that the con
stitutionally of the primary law is
going to be tested in the supreme court,
-but as that seems to be rumor, pure
and simple, we would better get ready
for the primaries, study law as given
us by the legislature, and look well to
the interests of the people, now that
the politlan will tind time to look over
the past, and wonder what has hap
pened, Under the new system any man can
nnnouuee his candidacy and burden the
polls with his name, while a goodly
number have already offered them
selves as so many sacrifices upon the
niter of their beloved country.
The writer being without political
aspirations, and yet feeling that he
cannot act the part of a citizen with
out taking an interest in the political
situation, offers the above with the
hope that others may give an express
ion of thought along the same line.
As touching the qualifications of a
candidate for the judgeship, more anon,
since the question is one of vital Importance-
to the citizens, not of our
county alone, but of the six counties
embracing the district.
The mere fact that the would-be ean
ditlate has aspirations for so exalted a
position does not settle the more se
rious question us to avulllblllty.

When you buy a Mower, buy a STANDARD, for the following reasons: You can line up
the cutter bar when it drops back or out of line. You can make the sections register in the

The "Rest Room" Is the Remedy.
The following article Is from Colliers

it. A few ycarsago '.his paper agitated
the Rest Room idea, and although
quite a number became interested in
it, money was not forthcoming to make
It a success;

behind to mind the children. She

might go to the store to be sure, where
h " . .
shb would be in every ones way; well

candy until their little hands would

stick to everything they touched, in-

.it..
would be nothing to do but to go out

into tlie street and walk, and then re

turn, and wait and wait. So all that
'
long afternoon she sits on the ground
" .
holding the baby m the little patch of
i shade. The sun beats down, clouds of
,.,,.-
' dust envelop them, the children s faces
n i
become grimy; finally, at six o,clock,
the map returns and hitches up. They
watch the balloon ascension and start
home. Then what? Supper to get,
milk to strain and put away, dishes to
wash, chickens to shut up, calves to
feed and the tired babies to bathe and
1 soothe to sleep. The woman has looked
1 forward to this onting as a much need-
ed change: when she finally gets to bed
she is too tired to sleep. Her holiday
had been spent under a wagon on a
dirty vacant lot. The shade of the
trees of her own yard would have been
much pleasanter. "This," writes a
woman from Carbondale, Kims., is the
condition in the average town. There
J IU numerous places where the men
, nrt! welcomed where they can
j Pu"l " honr without a thought of
! UC'"K" ni be wny. Should not these
1 busy women have a place of their own
i where, when their shopping is done
they can take their babies and visit
1 ann rest and go home refreshed and
strengthened rather than utterly worn
out'.' Is this a case for the restless
plutocrat who wc urged recently to
build good roads, or should it be looked
after by township or county? And In
what way? Suggestions, particularly
! from women who have had similar
j experiences are solicited."
